I don't know if it's the signal here or my phone or a combination of both. I'm running nightly 22, have tested with and without the savaged-zen kernel.

1) Now and then, my 4g connection dies on its own after about 20 mins.

2) Speed test results are never consistent. The first run is always > 6mbps and then it settles into 4mbps. (not a big deal, this may be an app issue)

3) There have been times when I've toggled 4g, but never seen it connect fresh out of a reboot

4) There's the reconnection issue which has been discussed widely. killing dhcpd doesn't help.

I've compared the results to an evo running stock, then warm in the exact same location (my office cube) - no such issues. I see constant 6+ mbps. What's more the speeds on CM vary if the phone is held in different parts of the cube. Again, not an issue with the sense setup.

Before I get lynched for being ungrateful, and *****ing about free software from devs, this feedback is to be taken at face value - I'm not complaining, just posting observations. I've donated to TeamWin already, and plan to donate 1 month's internet bill the day this becomes a stable alternative for my connection.

But I guess now that HDMI is their main focus, 4g is not on anyone's radar atm. If anyone's interested I can test more rigorously and provide logcats.

[EVO 4G General] LifeInTheGrey:
22 runs like a dream. Oddly enough, this is the first time I have been able to tether while running 4g (I'm not going to get caught in the speed debate); every time I even attempted it prior, the phone would reboot. ADW feels snappier than ever (especially after kicking the VM Heap to 48mb), and this may be in my head, but it feels like the internet speeds are just a tad faster.

Overall, a huge improvement from where I was (nightly 14), and very much looking forward to the final.
[EVO 4G General] NiMiNuM:
How do you change the vm heap again?
[EVO 4G General] psych2l:
From homescreen:

Menu > Settings > Cyanogenmod Settings > Performance > VM heap size
[EVO 4G General] LifeInTheGrey:
Yup, but just a heads up, you can only change it 32mb max that way. ADW runs best with at least 38mb, it really is a noticeable difference. To set it higher, there is a free app in the market called VM Heap Tool that lets you set it as high as 48mb. Check it out, you won't be sorry. ;)

also, what's all this buzz about 4g tethering issues? we tested it before submitting it, it works fine. i do it on a regular basis at home and at work; and, yes... it's routed as wimax0, so i know it's 4g.

And if you want a good head dip followed by sad shake, you can read the 10 pages or so dedicated to the back and forth regarding 4g tethering speeds not being "true 4g speeds".
[EVO 4G General] CheesyNutz:
how do you set it to 38 i only see 36 then 40
[EVO 4G General] LifeInTheGrey:
Yeah, it goes in intervals of 4mb. I personally set mine to 48mb, but you can experiment with different settings, it just takes a reboot. Most places that I read recommended 40.

Nav volume while music is playing

I did a bit of searching about this and aside from someone starting a topic on the CM bug tracker I haven't been able to find any additional information regarding this, so i thought i should ask here.

While playing music, when the navigation takes focus and tries to give instructions, the volume of the nav drops to the point where i can't hear it at all. It only happens when theres music playing as the nav volume is fine when its the only running app.

I'm just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this issue?
[EVO 4G General] SharkUW:
I mean to ask what time zone the timestamps are of on the dailies page the op lists so that I could know when the cutoff for a particular build is.
[EVO 4G General] brofist:
Sounds like its the volume ducking in effect. Play with either the music >settings or the cyanogenmod settings> sound functions and see if you can find a happy balance.
[EVO 4G General] lacrossev:
Tried attenuation already, it doesn't matter what music or nav app i use, as long as the music stream is active and something else tries to take focus, that 2nd app gets its volume zapped to oblivion. The ducking works as intended for the media stream, its just the other stream that seems to get the short end of the stick.

Oh, and nav volume is already at 100% :p , the volume drop is not anything that i'd think was intended as its nearly silent.

I've had that happen. After you start tethering, go to a website on the phone (make sure you refresh or go to a new site). Once the phone browser connects to something, you should be able to reach the internet on your tethered device. Hope that works for you too.

Well, battery life for me has improved a bit since the latest kernel bump, but still subpar overall. Yesterday I got about 15 hours, which seems good on the surface, but I was fairly busy and only ended up having about 2hrs 45 min of screen on time and had somewhere near 10% left at the end of the day. I have stuck with #21 for the last few days to allow it to properly settle in.

Battery while sleeping is excellent, but once the screen comes on it just sucks juice, obviously that is when it is going to use the most, but I can get through the same day with 5+ hrs screen on time on my Sense roms' setup. I have the latest JuiceDefender beta which works great. I have no wakelock issues, have tried stock, sz, and tiamat kernels, all seem to act similarly :(. Doesn't matter what setCPU profiles I have set or what governors I run, similar response.

Kind of lost at this point, I don't know if others reports of 'great' battery life are just evaluating it differently than me, or if I am overlooking something. I always look for time the display is on as the most important and relevant factor.
[EVO 4G General] brosephh:
Has anyone had problems with blackouts? I guess you can call it that

Ever since I tried the sculpted theme I have had ALL things blackout. It happens with

Every nightly after a couple days and even the rc's. Its seriously beginning to get annoying!

I clear everything before installing every nightly so I don't know what it would be.

Just to give an example of what I mean by blacking out..my keyboard becomes a giant black square

At times. Messaging app does it aswell so does browser and even home screens.

Will try to get a picture if needed

So....????

(Strong first post lulz)
[EVO 4G General] matt2053:
Running time is also relevant. So is data connection. Were you on 3G or 4G all day, or WiFi? How's the signal where you were all day?

I get a mediocre signal at my office, and we have no WiFi, so I'm on 3G all day, and my screen on time right now is just under 2 hours and I have 26 pct battery left. So we are in the same ballpark I think. This is typical for me.

However, this 26 pct remaining will probably last until I go to sleep, now that I'm home and on WiFi.

For CM, the easy fix for this is to turn on "Screen-On Animations" in CM settings. Cured the problem right up for me.

Sorry if this was covered, but I haven't read back ... you have obviously checked spare parts for wake lock, which is good but you didn't find anything. Did you fix permissions in Rom Manager? Also, if you are coming from a Sense rom and using a Non-SBC kernel, did you calibrate the battery? Those 3 things are the golden triad to prevent crappy CM battery life, cures 90% of all ails.

[EVO 4G General] ageesm:
Sure runtime is relevant, I didn't mean to imply isn't important, if you are only getting like 6 hours total runtime there is obviously an issue. For example I referee at some schools out in the middle of nowhere and have seen my phone drop quite a bit in just a few hours due to searching for signals. I try to remember to check it and turn on airplane mode if I need to.

I ran mainly on 3G while testing, but I would say I split time on 3G/WiFi on a normal day, which would certainly extend life. I am not usually in a 4G area, maybe twice a week on average. Yesterday I was not out of signal at all really, usually run around 2-3 bars, more often at 2, but it came up with like 1 or 2% time spent with no signal I think.

On an average day I certainly don't need 5.5 hours of screen time, I have things to do, but it was certainly nice. I am generally near a charger when I absolutely need one and it isn't to the point it is a huge deal breaker, a bit of curiosity. It is tough when people say I am at 'x%' with light/moderate/heavy usage when all of those things are a bit subjective and there is a myriad of factors throughout a day affecting it.

I am not complaining at all, just wanted to hear from others, so thank you for the feedback, it is appreciated. I will say that things like Angry Birds do not help me solve this minor issue in the slightest :D.

I believe I ran a fix permissions a little while back, but don't remember when, will run it again though.

The last few days I have stayed on nightly #21 to let it settle in properly because it was draining even faster before and I knew between trying different themes/kernels/new nightlies I never gave it time to realize what was going on :) I calibrated it once I got on 21, in addition I typically use it in the morning til it drops to 90 (which doesn't take long obviously, check some RSS feeds or something) and then plug it in while I go about my routine so when I leave it is right at 100. Kind of the manual method of SBC.

Your feedback is appreciated as well, thank you.
[EVO 4G General] matt2053:
Oh I agree big time, I have ranted on this before for sure. I hate it when I see "omg i just flashed miui and i got 28 hourz!!!!" but they fail to mention that they never even turned the damned screen because they wanted to see how long they could get the battery to last!

I just got a second battery and an external charger for $35 and said f--- it. Now, I just pop in a fresh battery on my way out the door to work, and leave the other battery at home charging. Then, sometime after I get home, I just swap them out. Then the next day I do the same thing. I actually can't remember the last time I plugged a charger into my actual phone!

So this is weird.

The past couple of nights my phone has out of nowhere played some sort of music very loud whole I was sleeping. It's the same song when it does it, not anything I put on my phone, doesn't seem to be a "real" song. More like a ringtone one, if that makes sense.

The only way I can get it to stop is by turning my phone off. If I just reboot it keeps going. When I wake up in the morning I turn my phone on and everything is normal.

Any ideas?
